PHILADELPHIA, March 1 -- Safend, an Israeli-based company addressing "endpoint" data security, has announced the availability of an auditing software solution that identifies all USB products connected to PCs enterprise-wide. USB Auditor is available as a free download for a limited time from Safend's website.

"Many enterprise security professionals are unaware of the growing number of USB devices that are connected regularly to their companies' PCs," said Gil Sever, Safend's CEO. "And yet, USB devices can pose serious security risks. Over 60 percent of corporate information resides on PCs, so with the spread of high capacity USB drives, more people have ready access to downloading private information and walking away with it in their pockets. With 40GB iPods on the market, the magnitude of potential downloads poses a serious threat. Safend provides security professionals visibility into where USB devices are being used and by whom, so appropriate measures can be taken."

The USB Auditor is a non-intrusive, clientless software solution that captures critical USB port activity in computers across the enterprise. The USB Auditor creates a report displaying all devices currently and recently connected to the network, which can then be exported to a Microsoft Excel file. It comes pre-configured with commonly used queries.

Available for Windows-based systems, Safend's USB Auditor is offered free of charge as a download from www.safend.com. Sever continues, "USB Auditor effectively spotlights security vulnerabilities in the enterprise and when complemented by Safend's USB Port Protector, the appropriate protection can be applied."
